Boil Order issued for Glenwood
March 19th, 2019 by Ric Hanson
Mills County Emergency Management officials said today (Tuesday), that Glenwood Municipal Utilities (GMU) has issued a BOIL ORDER (effective 1:30-p.m. today) until further notice. The Order is in response to an electrical outage at the Glenwood Water Treatment Facility. GMU says it will be adding water to their system to assure ongoing availability for their customers. In the meantime, water meant for consumption should be boiled first, and then cooled.
The water is safe to use for bathing and household activities. Officials stress “Conservation of water is still required.” Drinking water is available at no cost, and can be picked up at the Glenwood City Hall. Anyone with questions should contact GMU at 712-527-4868.
